"Well organised and brilliant despite the rain on Sarurday"

Likes the bands Primal Scream and Libertines excellent but all other acts were superb. The acts on the Grapes and Fagins and the Kitchen were brilliant and so were the Red Lion festival.
Bands Saturday and Sunday. Reprimand brilliant. Well done Sheffield Tramways.

"Fun weekend! (Better than Y NOT at least)"

I really enjoyed tramlines last year because of the amaze line up for such a cheap price, the weather was lovely and there were loads of helpful staff! This year (2017) was also really good, however my friends and I did have a couple of little problems that we didn't have last year - last year there were lots of tramlines staff directing us to venues etc, I understand this year that there were less venues but there wasn't really anyone to ask for directions and we got lost (a lot). Likewise, map & postcodes weren't super helpful as we actually ended up at Ponderosa, not The Folk Forest! It have been nice if it was a bit clearer where the shuttlebus was as we ended up spending loads of taxis, buses and trams!

However, overall Tramlines a really well organised and facilitated festival, I would say one of the best festival experiences I ever had, the rain didn't dampen the mood and was much better dealt with that other festivals (in terms of the stages being kept open). The line up (& food, free McFlurries etc) were good and I definitely will go again!

"Food Choices, water availability plastic bottles"

The food options at the main star were poor with little choice for vegetarians virtually none for vegans.
Nowhere to refill water bottles - so lots of wasted plastic bottles.
Water was expensive. Brought sealed water bottles that were too big - hadn't seen any comms about the size of sealed bottles so more wasted water and plastic.

"great city festival"

for me at the festival. Different this year due to it been mainly outdoor stages, especially when heavy rain was forecast. However the stages were great and this year we got to visit the Folk Forest due to the free Busker Bus put on by Sheffield Hallam Uni. This was one of my highlights! Such fun, the buskers were talented and very funny. Loved the Folk Forest too. We missed the Cathedral and City Hall not being venues, the atmosphere for some of the bands are much better in those places than in a field. However all in all despite the heavy rain Saturday which just beat us all, myself, husband and 2 teenagers, which meant we missed the headliners, we had a brilliant weekend. Fantastic value.
